Unknown bush/shrub

We have this bush in the garden .When it comes into bloom it looks glorious and it's just starting now .However I have no idea what it is . It was here when we moved in nearly nine years ago .
Any offers ?

Good morning all. Tortoises are fine and Shughy has got D and V. Of course it would be a sunday. Am monitoring but will take to the vet if needed, it will be NO FUN getting him in the car.

What's D and V?

[woofgang]

diarrhoea and vomiting Neti. He is empty now and settled to sleep so I am feeling less worried (for worried read panicked!)

Hello all
Freezing cold here but it's been bright and sunny.Bondi beach would do me nicely ,warm sun on my bones would do the world of good, but I'll just have to make do with a hot cushion on my back and two mini hwb's on each hip.

Lol..they do have Christmas trees to rent Neti if you have 250 quid to spare.

I'll make do with my cheapo from Wilko.
Hope you're all jogging along and that your poorly woofer soon feels better Woofy.

Well very nice too shaney but one of those would fill my lounge. I need a smaller one!!
I have had a nice roast dinner, I gobbled down many roast pots, brocolli and mint gravy. I didn't fancy meat or anything else. It was delicious. So things are on the up and up.

could you squeeze one of these in, neti?

Good morning. Its stormy here. Had a much better night. But still slightly dizzy so am staying in. Not sure I can walk to the village and back again, and I need to post my Xmas cards.

Neti In "Slightly Dizzy" Shock

Shouldn't laugh, I suppose, a friend of mine has just emailed to say he keeps falling over - he thinks it's his ears rather than his legs, his sense of balance isn't working - and he's having to get handrails put in all over his home, and walking frames are on order. He's 70ish.

Jno, I hope he’s getting checked out by the mexico as well. Many “slightly dizzy" things are fixable.
For a wonder we are all fine here. Torts are okay and settled, Shughy is fine and I am functioning so far....pretty amazing for a monday

[shaneystar2]

Morning all
Nice bright morning and not quite so cold .
I like the little tree.Is it knitted ?
That's worrying for your friend Jno.I wobble about a bit but I know what causes it.He ought to see the doctor.
You sound on good form today Woofy .I'm only on three quarters form.

[netibiza]

I'll have to stagger down the land and check the post box. Doesn't hold much. I'd love a letter box like you all have. Half mybmail gets wet if I can't empty it. Am still in bed and wondering if I should take Berocca. Opinions?

[woofgang]

well it won’t help with dizziness

[netibiza]

oh a Last tango in Halifax is on 19 dex, two part xmaa special.

[jno]

a whole string of doctors by the sound of it, Woofgang. But they haven't come up with a firm diagnosis as yet.

[woofgang]

sometimes you really need a good general elderly care consultant.....sadly they seem to be getting rare

[netibiza]

I'm not getting any better. But am seeing mexico on Wed as fiesta tomorrow. Mr N is quite concerned as I'm usually leaping about and singing. Ah well, every cloud!!
Have finally written my Xmas cards and luckily I bought the a on tye dayni faintes so at least have them now. Mr N is posting them on Wed and also coming to mexico wirh me.

[netibiza]

[netibiza]
